Through innovative circular economy strategies, the city—together with local communities—has developed a roadmap for resilience, job creation, and sustainable investment that supports healthier and more regenerative environments for its residents. Taking circular thinking into the future, Cleveland is now demonstrating that it is possible to rebuild a prosperous local economy that raises the quality of life for people and allows nature to thrive.
